Can a haircut make YOU look younger?

Women know the secret of looking ten years younger is with a hair 'youth-over'.

Debbie McLaughlin, 44, a graphic designer from Warwickshire, had kept the same hairstyle for 15 years. 'I've always played it safe, but now I'm open to a change,' she said.

Beautifully chic: Debbie thinks her new do is the perfect cut for her

James Pryce, of Richard Ward Hair in Chelsea (richardward.com) said: 'Debbie has fine hair which had grown too long for her face shape.

'By bringing the length up off her shoulders, it made her hair look thicker, with more graduation in the nape of the neck for a modern finish.' Colourist Danielle Taylor added cream blonde highlights and warm brown lowlights to create texture.

What does Debbie think? 'My hair looks thicker and more glossy than ever. It's so easy to style, it's the perfect cut for me.'
